Gifts of appreciated securities offer tax benefits including the elimination of capital gains on the appreciated portion of stock gifts.

Please notify Leslie Wentz 610-995-8771 or lwentz@haverfordquality.com and Joy Antonoplos 610-971-1630 or jantonoplos@ndapa.org before making a gift of stock. Please include the name of the stock, the number of shares you will be gifting, and when the stock will be transferred. Because electronically transferred gifts often do not indicate the owner of the assets, stocks sent without advance notice can be difficult to match to the donor(s).

Please provide the following information to your broker to transfer securities to the Academy of Notre Dame:

Donation of securities are made through The Haverford Trust Company. Should you need to be in touch with Haverford Trust directly, contact Christine Walker (610) 995-8711 or cwalker@haverfordquality.com.

In accordance with IRS guidelines, the date of the gift will be the date on which the Academy of Notre Dame assumes ownership of the shares. For crediting purposes, the value is determined as the average of the high and low price on the gift date. In the case of unlisted securities, the value of the gift must be determined through an independent appraisal provided by the donor.

You may also give Notre Dame valuable items or services. Such items might include real estate, art, antiques, a coin collection or jewelry. They might also include such things as computer equipment or services such as remodeling or printing.
